On plagiarism: Some parts of the original article were originally copy-and-pasted from online sources, one of which was written in a promotional manner for obtaining funding. (I had to edit these parts.) Yes, for the purpose of academic ethics, this copy-and-pasting is considered plagiarism. The article, however, does cite sources and need not be removed from Wikipedia.
On copyright: Although some parts of the old version of the article were copy-and-pasted, the current text of the article is not a copyright problem. Only short excerpts were ever used in the original article, all of which I (PleaseStand) rewrote.
To User:Bradallenpowell: if you can provide the missing citation information and you cannot figure out how to do so yourself, please add the author's name and the article title to the list above and I will add it for you. PleaseStand(talk) 03:02, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looking back at this article two years later, I regret that I did not just tag it for speedy deletion, as it was easy for me to identify copied sentences in the Findings section. Therefore, I have stubbed this article to the bare minimum of text needed to establish notability. Please do not restore any text I have removed unless you are completely sure it is not copied from anywhere. PleaseStand (talk) 04:52, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
